Water Gardening: Stringy algae in my pond., 1 by bedouin

ah! I resorted to desperate measures. Emptied my entire pool of plants and fish. Poured chlorox into the lined pool and as of now I dont have a single living thing surviving the shock! I'll just let the chloroxed water sit there for a few more days, empty the pond and just start all over again! I'll certainly buy some more goldfish as I miss my old pal! I still dont know if I'll return the plants as they are bound to have remnants of that horrible algae hidden amongst their roots or stems! How sad, as the plants really are so healthy! I'd love to save the 2 waterlilies, if nothing else!
